1. A method for ascertaining whether a patient is accompanied by a caregiver, the method being implemented by a processor of a server and comprising:
receiving position data of the patient and position data of the caregiver;
determining whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver based on the position data of the patient and the position data of the caregiver;
generating a risk alarm related to the patient based on the determining whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver; and
transmitting the risk alarm from the server to a user device,
wherein the determining whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver includes a proximity calculation performed with reference to a time difference between collecting the patient position data and collecting the caregiver position data,
the method further comprising:
mapping real-time position locating system (RTLS) data related to the patient and the caregiver based on an ASCII code,
wherein the RTLS data is mapped before it is determined whether the patient is accompanied by the caregiver.
